• description: <p class="p1"><span class="s1">This workshop was carried out with science museum educators and educators from the Museo Parque Explora in Medellín as part of Congreso RedPOP: the Latin American and Caribbean Network for the Popularization of Science and Technology.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"> During the three-day workshop we presented a subjective view of science, connected to experience and personal perception, taking as an example The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles and the work of artist Joan Fontcuberta.</span> <span class="s1">Organized into groups, we selected different elements from the park’s aquarium (the animals themselves, information for visitors, exhibitions and even architectural elements) and designed expository posters that subverted the scientific discourse regarding the animals on display.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"> On the final day of the workshop we conducted a series of alternative guided tours, different from those normally provided to the public. Workshop participants dressed up as aquarium educators for the day and gave tours mixing biological ideas with political, philosophical and social concepts in the local context of the city of Medellin.</span></p>
